Misuse of government computers and phones

Your personal use of government property is still government use — and wrongful behavior is always wrongful.

Only very limited personal use of government property is acceptable. Certain activities are always prohibited on government computers, phones and other devices at any time, no matter where you are at the time. These include:

• Viewing, creating, sending or arranging to receive sexually explicit videos, photographs, jokes or other materials.
• Pyramid schemes, gambling, betting.
• Buying, selling or arranging to use illegal drugs.
• Working for an outside employer.
• Operating an outside business.

Do the right thing. It’s what our customers trust us to do.

Use government property only to achieve our mission.

And that’s smart business.
